If your going to get a Civic Si, go for the 1999 and 2000 model.
The new Si's look like shit.....IMO...
The older model is sweet though and is the fastest Civic out of them all ..........

yeah the newer one does not look cool at all , but I do think it is faster that the older models , simply cause it may be lighter , but I don't know the weight specs on it , cause I have never cared to look it up lol

I looks like all the other cars out there. I don't think it looks any different or sportier. Buy the Mazda at least it looks different and there is not a lot of them around.

Whataturd
 
:eek: what a POS. I've always liked Honda, they've always been inovative but this just sucks. It's a regression in performance, the new Si engine has more more cubes but still the same HP output, and a bit more torque(but at a useless 500 RPMS's), and it doesn't even rev like a champ anymore, i mean 6800 RPM's WTF is that, the old B-series Si motor went to 8G's.:(
Oh and the damn thing weights as much as a Protege'5, 2700Lbs. I mean god it's a two-door coupe how the hell does it weight 2700 Lbs ? :eek: Ya' know what else is funny:D the 15" wheels with shitty rubber:eek:

let's all of gloat because theSi looks dopey (shitty) Pro5 looks much better...which means more sales of p5's...and more aftermarket shit for proteges.

hopefully that'll be the case, but it's a HONDA and regardless if it's ugly or not they'll still make more aftermarket shit for the Hondas, then they'll ever do for a 1000 times better looking Protege...........I guess life's not fair afterall:mad:

LOL, I second that! I also think they made it ugly to see if the stupid rice boys will buy it, and make it uglier!!! :D

I don't know. I always give the ugly award to the Nissan Sentra. To me the new Si just looks like they gave up trying. Kind of like they wanted to copy a Focus but could not quite figure out how. If I were to put my money down on a higher performing car I guess it would have to be the Focus. Only problem is that the 2.0L Zetec is one noisy piece of crap when you pair it to a manual. I wonder if they were able to get rid of some of that noise? As for Honda I have had enough of body roll like a ship at sea civics. Someday people are going to realize that those Honda Civics are just overpriced Escorts. I test drove all three Civic trims several times before I bought my Protege. All 3 rolled and the only one able to cancel it out at all was the EX. How do you expect to build a performance car off of a platform like that?

mnkyboy March-26th-2002 11:19 AM

I agree with most you the post, the new civic is pretty ugly. The Ford Focus was one of the cars on my list when I was shopping, but I didnt like the way the car felt when I test drove it. It didnt feel like it would last a long time, but the looks were great. I was very impressed with the interior space, but when it came down to what car was the best, the P5 won all the points!
